TONY PERROTTET is the author of four previous books- Off the Deep End, Pagan Holiday, The Naked Olympics, and Napoleon's Privates. He lives in New York City.
“Hugely entertaining... Perrottet has a wonderful knack for
ferreting out the obscure, the offbeat, and the just plain weird. A
real eye opener.”
—Booklist
“Lots of people write about sex, and lots of people write about
history, but nobody writes about either quite the way Tony
Perrottet does. His well-informed wit is front and center in his
latest—and, for my money—best book to date. . . . The perfect read
for anyone blessed with a sense of humor and a touch of perverse
curiosity.”
—Chris Ryan, New York Times-bestselling author of Sex at
Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality
"This X-rated version of “National Lampoon’s European Vacation”
segues into an amusing — and absorbing — series of quests...
(Perrottet) tears away Europe’s decorous historical facade he
pays spirited homage to the rakes and reprobates who subscribed to
Casanova’s motto: “I have devoted my life to the pursuit of
pleasure.”
-- The New York Times Book Review
“Delightful and edifying... Undercover historian Tony Perrottet
presents the Tour with a twist: studying the Continent’s most
famous, or infamous, sites and relics associated with human
sexuality, from the belle epoque brothels of Paris to a secret
Vatican bathroom covered with erotic panels by Raphael.”
—Trip Lit, National Geographic Traveler
“A terrifically funny writer . . . informative and twice as
quirky.
—Boston Globe
